Hi,
the 48.0-2 upload dropped the ssh agent:
"Stop building gnome-keyring ssh-agent in favour of gcr4 ssh-agent"
After upgrading yesterday and debugging for half an hour why my
ssh-agent was falling back to this, I found the root cause.
This is a breaking change as users might depend on it. Please add a news
entry that users should install gcr4 and use /usr/libexec/gcr-ssh-agent
from now on.
This might be my nice usecase since I am on sway; nevertheless, please
document this.
best,
werdahias
